AccessABILITY

The Office of AccessABILITY enhances the educational experience for people with temporary or permanent disabilities.

The Office of Accessibility performs a review of its students’ Academic Risk Report provided by the ICIT, and uses this information to further advice, counsel and accommodate students to enhance their academic standing.

The transcripts of those students on academic risk or probation were reviewed. Based on the data gathered from Access and Technology center’s attendance records, a list of students that utilized services during 2010-2011 and belonged to those categories was created.The number of students who utilized the Access and Technology center’s resources and services and improved their academic standing is determined.

Does the resources provided through the Office of AccessABILITY’s Access and Technology Center improve at-risk students’ academic performance?
